Break Up

Can the noun form of "break up" be written as two words like the verb? For example:

"I had a bad break up," instead of "break-up" or "breakup."

Thanks.

No, break up is a phrasal verb . I would use breakup , as it is far more common than break-up.

Is "sell out" a phrasal verb as well? As in, "I don't want to sell out."
